Sober
When I drink
I sit and think of getting sober
But when I’m sober all I want is that damn high
How long will I walk myself in circles
So paralyzed
It’s been 27 hours since I saw you
And I’m dreading when that becomes 28
But for now I start to see the crystal waters
Behind your haze
Still look for you in every little corner
Like you’re the one thing that’s still keeping me awake
When my ash is burnt down to the filter
I’ll fade away
‘Cause when I drink
I sit and think of getting sober
But when I’m sober all I want is that damn high
How long will I walk myself in circles
So paralyzed
I miss the way you made me feel like talking
To strangers that I’d meet along the way
Now I wonder if they smiled and nodded
To get away
‘Cause when I drink
I sit and think of getting sober (sober)
But when I’m sober all I want is that damn high (high, high)
How long will I walk myself in circles
So paralyzed
So paralyzed
Woah
Behind these eyes
Oh
I still drink and sit and think of getting sober
‘Cause when I’m sober all I want is that damn high
How long will I walk myself in circles
So paralyzed
How long will I walk myself in circles
So paralyzed
